ES1021QI Datasheet
The Altera Enpirion ES1021QI is an integrated 4-channel
controlled-on/controlled-off power-supply sequencer
with supply monitoring, fault protection and a “sequence
completed” signal (RESET). ES1021QI uses a patented,
micropower 7x charge pump to drive four external low-
cost NFET switch gates above the supply rail by 5.3V.
These ICs can be biased from 5V down to 1.5V by any
supply.
ES1021QI has two groups of two channels, each with its
independent I/O. It is ideal for voltage sequencing into
redundant capability loads. All four inputs must be
satisfied before turn-on, but a single group fault is
ignored by the other group.
External resistors provide flexible voltage threshold
programming of monitored rail voltages. Delay and
sequencing are provided by external capacitors for
ramp-up and ramp-down.
Additional I/O is provided for indicating and driving
the RESET state in various configurations.
For volume applications, other programmable options
and features are available.

Descriptions and Operation
The ES1021QI sequencer is a 4-channel voltage sequencing controller, and is designed for use in multiple-voltage
systems requiring power sequencing of various supply voltages. Individual voltage rails are gated on and off by
external N-Channel MOSFETs, the gates of which are driven by an internal charge pump to VDD + 5.3V (VQP) in a
user-programmed sequence.
The ES1021QI is a 4-channel device that groups the four channels into two groups of two channels each. Each group
of A, B and C, D, has its own ENABLE and RESET I/O pins. All four UVLO and both ENABLEs must be satisfied for
sequencing to start. The A, B group turns on first, 10ms after the second ENABLE is pulled low, with A then B
turning on, followed by C then D.
Once the preceding GATE = VQP, the next DLY_ON pin starts to charge its capacitor; thus, all four GATEs turn on.
Approximately 160ms after D GATE = VQP, the RESET output is released to go high. Once any UVLO is unsatisfied, only
the related group’s RESET and two GATEs are pulled low. The related EN input must be cycled for the faulted group to
be turned on again.
Normal shutdown is invoked by signaling both ENABLE inputs high, which causes the two related GATEs to shut down
in reverse order from turn-on. DLY_X capacitors adjust the delay between GATES during turn-on and turn-off, but not
the order.
During bias up, the RESET output is guaranteed to be in the correct state, with VDD lower than 1V.
ES1021QI requires that the related ENABLE be cycled for restart of its associated group GATEs. If no capacitors are
connected between DLY_ON or DLY_OFF pins and ground, then all such related GATEs start to turn on immediately
after the 10ms (TUVLOdel) ENABLE stabilization timeout has expired. The GATEs start to turn off immediately when
ENABLE is asserted.

If some of the rails are sequenced together to reduce cost and eliminate the effect of capacitor variance on the timing, a
common capacitor can be connected to two or more DLY_ON or DLY_OFF pins. In this case, multiply the capacitor value
by the number of common DLY_X pins to obtain the desired timing.
Table 1 shows the nominal time delay on the DLY_X pins for various capacitor values, from the start of charging to the
1.27V reference. This table does not include the 10ms of ENABLE lockout delay during a start-up sequence, but it does
represent the time from the end of the ENABLE lockout delay to the start of GATE transition. There is no ENABLE
lockout delay for a sequence-off, so this table illustrates the delay to GATE transition from a disable signal.

Application Considerations
Timing Error Sources
In any system there are variance contributors. For ES1021QI, timing errors are mainly contributed by three sources.
Capacitor Timing Mismatch Error
Obviously, the absolute capacitor value is an error source; thus, lower-percentage tolerance capacitors help to reduce
this error source. Figure 8 illustrates a difference of 0.57ms between two DLY_X outputs ramping to DLY_X threshold
voltage. These 5% capacitors were from a common source. In applications where two or more GATEs or LOGIC
outputs must have concurrent transitions, it is recommended that a common GATE drive be used to eliminate this
timing error.
FIGURE 8. CAPACITOR TIMING MISMATCH
10128 July 9, 2014 Rev A
Page 12
Enpirion Power Datasheet ES1021QI Power Sequencing Controller July 2014 Altera Corporation
DLY_X Threshold Voltage and Charging Current Mismatch
The two other error sources come from the IC itself and are found across the four DLY_X outputs. These errors are the
DLY_X threshold voltage (DLY_Vth) variance when the GATE_X charging and discharging current latches are set, and
the DLY_X charging current (DLY_ichg) variances to determine the time to next sequencing event. Both of these
parameters are bounded by specification. Figure 9 shows that, with a common capacitor, the typical error contributed
by these factors is insignificant, since both DLY_X traces overlay each other.
